There is a folder sitting on my desktop marked "lego for mocpages", and it's been there for months. It's time to upload it.

LEGO has taken a bit of a backseat to life in recent months. I've been a little too busy with this's and that's to build, and haven't really had the will for it anyway. Maybe someday soon that will change, but in the meantime, here's a bit of nostalgia. Some of you may have seen these before on my Flickr page, but I'm posting them anyway; time to delete that folder.

Until Part IX, anyway.

Rendezvous

One reason I'm fond of airports, casinos, soundstages, and conventions: I like really big rooms.

Situation Room

Based on that infamous shot after Bin Laden was killed.

This summer, Joe Biden is... BATMAN!

First thing that came to mind after that new boombox piece came out: Say Anything.

The Puzzle Machine

A paid gig; no idea what the company actually does, but this was the idea the guy had. Nice little build.

The Big Lebowski

Another paid gig, for a big fan of the movie.

Green Screen

While interning at a production company, I got to see a rough cut of an upcoming movie (can't say which one; signed an NDA). The punch line: the special effects weren't totally finished. Cars in front of green screens, voodoo priest face paint in lieu of CGI, actors in safety harnesses: it was all very entertaining. But the best was when there were no effects at all, just text on the screen: "stormy clouds in the distance". A lovable peek behind the curtain.

That said, it was a great movie, and you should see it when it comes out in a few months, and I can reveal what it is.

Don't recall seeing these on Flickr - really glad you posted them here as well. Your presentations are second to none, and I dare say what you do here is really mixed media. Can't pick a favorite because every shot is just pure gold. Thanks for posting!
